Shanna and I are happy to announce that A Lovely Year of Finishes is coming back again next year! That’s right! 12 new months, 12 more finishes!
The response this year was overwhelming! You all were amazing! I can’t believe just how many incredible creations were finished during the first 11 months of this year! I am really looking forward to next year to see what everyone comes up with.
There will be a few changes in 2014 – we are excited about them!
- Next year we will continue with our monthly goal parties – live from the 1st to the 7th of each month.
- We will also continue our finishes parties – live during the last 7 days of each month.
- We are discontinuing the mid-month check-in party. We have decided to go with something fun and exciting that will bring attention (and hopefully lots of traffic!) to all of you crazy talented people! We are going to do monthly features of the most clicked on finishes from the previous month. We want to drive some traffic to YOU!
- We’ll have a minimum of 6 months of successful participation to be eligible for the big finale in 2015.
- We have a new facebook group. That’s right we’re here for all your social media finishes. Okay not all just another one. This page is a closed group, anyone can see this but you can only post (your finishes, blog posts, make comments) with an ‘invite’ or permission to join the group. We want to prevent as many trolls as possible.
- We’ll still love to see your twitter or Instagram posts use #ALYoF to show off your stuff.
Here is our awesome new button, designed by the incredibly talented Kristin from Modjeska Designs.

I’m glad you’ll be continuing! I kind of fizzled out the past couple of months with moving to a different state, my sewing room was in flux.
Oh I’m so excited to read this! And I’m starting to get really excited about 2014 and new projects… Can’t wait.
Thank you Ladies! I have never finished so many projects in a year before. And now I will have the chance next year too. Great!
I love the new button. Thanks for continuing ALYOF in 2014 and the addition of a mid-month shout out. Looking forward to playing along with you talented ladies in 2014.
Brilliant work ladies, looking forward to it already
Going to be better about getting things linked and then completely them. Love the changes sounds good and motivated to start 2014 on the right foot! Thanks for the extra push to finish things up!
Hooray! Excited for the next year!
YEAH! Super excited you’re doing this! These monthly check-in’s help me to keep on track! You’re amazing!!!!!
The new button is already up on Quilt BOM!
I just realized that all year I’ve been thinking of this as a Year of Lovely Finishes. LOL
I’m so excited for another year of ALYF! I can already count 5 quilts that need to be quilted for next year.
This is great. I have a stack of projects that I really want to complete in 2014 and maybe this will help keep me accountable.
Woot, well done for all your hard work this year on it, looking forward to next year 🙂 Oh, and I may be able to hook you up with a prize
Yay!! That’s great news, maybe I can start from the beginning this time…. I have lots of plans for next year 🙂
I definitely need another year! A friend commented on my blog the other day, that she was looking for something like this, so I sent her the message too – hopefully, she’ll join!
Exciting! Well, I totally sucked at this this year. I’d love to try again next year, but I wonder, do BOM’s count too? I still have some to finish from this year, and I’m looking for incentive.
Woohoo! So excited! This really helped me to get more accomplished.
Fantastic project. I will spread the word!!!!!!
Thank you for doing a Facebook page. I’ve requested to join. I don’t blog but I do share my finishes on Facebook, so this would suit me. I think your finish per month is a great concept and have loved following along this year.
I’m really looking forward to being a new participant this year! I’ve seen your button on many blogs and having been following. I’m a goal setter so this is perfect for me! Is there anything I need to sign up??? Thanks!
After getting “lost” in 2013 I’m back to get some sewing completed!
